Cooking tips

  • The mandu filling already contains perfectly balanced seasoning with meat and vegetables, so no extra ingredients are needed for depth of flavor.
  • Using scissors directly on the pan makes it easy and fast to chop the mandu while minimizing kitchen tools.
  • The combination of katsudon sauce and vinegar easily recreates the tangy, savory umami flavor characteristic of traditional Japanese kyou-don.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to create a unique and hearty meal using leftover frozen mandu.
  • Students looking to make a restaurant-quality rice bowl with minimal ingredients and tools.
  • Anyone seeking a fail-safe, delicious combination of sweet-salty flavors from katsudon sauce and mandu filling.
